new center in Istanbul new city center While every city has a city center, Istanbul has many of them! Spreading the confectionery borders of its historical peninsula around the 18th century, Istanbul has emerged as a multi-centric global metropolis spanning both Europe and Asia. However, the true heart of the city remained the legendary bay called Khalich (or Golden Horn). After serving as a center of industrial production for centuries, Halić is returning to its essence as a center for the “good life.” The naval dockyards are currently undergoing an inspiring transformation by a stellar team of architects to revive the 600-year-old heritage and return it to the city as Istanbul's new charming waterfront 'neighborhood'.
